Poultry meat freshness assessment based on the biogenic amines index
PublicationIn order to safeguard the well-being of the consumers, it is important to accurately determine the shelf life of poultry and poultry-based products. In this work, it was evaluated whether the measurement of the concentration of cadaverine, putrescine, histamine and tyramine can be used to assess the shelf-life of poultry meat stored in the different types of the containers. Based on the results it can be concluded that the collective...

Literature update of analytical methods for biogenic amines determination in food and beverages
PublicationBiogenic amines (BAs) have been reported in a variety of foods, such as fish, meat, cheese, and wines. The formation of BAs in food by the microbial decarboxylation of amino acids can result in human allergic reactions, characterized by difficulty in breathing, rash, vomiting, and hypertension. Control measures to prevent biogenic amine formation in foods and/or reduce their levels should be considered. Therefore, monitoring of...

Direct determination of cadaverine in the volatile fraction of aerobically stored chicken breast samples
PublicationTo supplement the currently used methods for poultry meat shelf life assessment, it might be necessary to develop a technique for rapid headspace analysis of volatiles with no prior sample preparation step. Biogenic amines, in particular cadaverine, are considered meat spoilage indicators. Described in this article are the results of a preliminary investigation of the applicability of proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry...
